This researcher studies the fungus Aspergillus nidulans as a model organism to understand basic cell biology processes, including how cells divide (mitosis), how the nuclear pore complex (structures that control traffic in and out of the cell nucleus) is organized and segregated during division, and how fungal biofilms form and respond to their environment. Recent work also examines mitophagy (the controlled breakdown of cellular energy-producing organelles) and cellular responses to gaseous conditions within biofilms. This work is largely basic science aimed at understanding fundamental mechanisms of cell structure and division using fungi as an experimental system.

Publication output has slowed over the past decade, peaking around 2017-2019 and declining to sporadic, low-volume output in recent years.
